Each figure could have it’s own posture and it’s own feeling, it’s own expression. According to Choi + Shine these human pylons will represent “something more than merely a functional design of necessity.”
Unfortunately, the project has not been chosen : according to Icelandic conservatives they disfigure one of the most beautiful landscape in the world.

I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3
